No. four weeks are 28 days.
You need - to be sure you don't lose data in case of unforeseen
problems - one volume more than strictly necessary, so, for the full
backup pool, weekly jobs, and 30 days retention time, you end up with
six volmes:
30 / 7: ~4.3
round up: 5
add one volume so you don't have to recycle before the current bckup
is done: 6
